How To Remotely Access Another Computer: A Step-by-Step Guide to AnyDesk

What Is Remote Desktop?

A co-worker asks to see something on your screen, but you’re in a different room.

A friend from a different country has a problem with their device, and you need a quick and simple way to help.

You work for a large company and are looking for a way to roll out software on all devices.

These and many other use cases are what remote desktop is for. It allows you to remotely access another computer over the internet from wherever you are in the world. Ideally, this works across all platforms: from your Android phone to your Linux computer, from Windows to Mac.

AnyDesk offers one of the simplest remote access solutions. Don’t believe us? Try it out for yourself! Here’s a little guide on how to remotely access another computer over the internet via AnyDesk.

1. How To Download AnyDesk

First things first: AnyDesk is free for private use. So if a family member needs help setting up their PC, you can comfortably help them from home and you don’t have to pay a cent. Not only that, but you don’t have to sign up for anything, and you barely need any space on your PC. Simply download the 3MB file and get going!

Whoever you’d like to connect to needs to download AnyDesk as well. Just tell them how easy it is, and they’ll be ready in moments. And that’s it! You’re now ready to start your first session.

2. How To Set up a Connection

To get started, open AnyDesk. The number you see on the left is your personal ID. People can use this number to access your device, and you need this number from the person you want to connect to. Type the ID of the remote device into the search bar on the right. Don’t forget: Never give anyone you don’t know access to your device and beware of online scammers!

What if you’re at home, but you want to have unattended access your work PC at the office, where no one is there to accept the session request? Take a look at your security settings: There you can set up a password and two-factor authentication for unattended access. That way, the session doesn’t need to be manually accepted by the remote side.

How else can you choose who to connect to? When you open the AnyDesk home window, possible contacts and their online status are displayed as follows:

Want to organize your contacts even further? Our AnyDesk Performance license contains an Address Book among many other helpful features, where you can categorize your contacts via tags.

3. How To Use AnyDesk’s Remote Desktop Features

On the remote side, as soon as a session is requested, the accept window pops up. You may take control of the remote device, but the remote side can still decide the level of control they want to give you by simply clicking the respective permissions on the accept window. For example, the On-Screen Whiteboard can be disabled, as well as the clipboard, file manager and even the ability to use mouse and keyboard of the remote side.

The AnyDesk accept window on Windows

Depending on the permissions, here’s a selection of tools you can use during your remote session:

To end the connection, either click disconnect on the remote side, close the tab or close AnyDesk.

Easy, isn’t it? These first steps aren’t even half of what AnyDesk is capable of. Find out more about AnyDesk Remote Desktop and if you need advanced functions that are tailored to your needs, consider buying one of our licenses.

What Is Unattended Remote Access?

With unattended remote access, users have the ability to set up a remote control session on a computer, tablet or mobile phone without needing someone in front of the remote device to accept the connection. By installing lightweight remote access software onto your devices, you can set up unattended access for various uses.

Whether you’re a professional looking to access files on-the-go or an IT manager looking for a way to streamline support tickets, unattended access can increase accessibility of your remote devices.

Selecting the Right Unattended Remote Access Solution

While there are several remote access software solutions available, AnyDesk has some of the best performance features on the market. When it comes to frame rate, latency, data transfer and frame size score, AnyDesk is ranked as one of the top performers in the space according to independent benchmark reports by PassMark Software and ScienceSoft.

AnyDesk’s remote access software offers many beneficial features like file transfer, remote printing, session reporting, customizable security controls and more. AnyDesk is also available as a mobile application so you don’t have to set up any software in order to use it. This is useful when the program is used to provide or receive assistance without using your device battery to keep it running in the background.

AnyDesk’s unattended access feature is one of the most used functionalities by users. Its benefits enable users like IT support to access customer devices any time, even if the customer is not around. This enables support teams to provide quick and efficient remote support as well as streamline company-wide security updates and installs.

Similarly, if you’re a professional who wants to access your work computer from your laptop at home, unattended access makes it possible. All you need to do is set a password in the “Security” tab of your work computer’s AnyDesk settings and you’re ready to work from home.

How To Set up Unattended Access With AnyDesk

1. Install AnyDesk on the Remote Device

You can download the latest version of AnyDesk on our website. Simply click on the “Download” button. Depending on your web browser, downloading will begin automatically or you will be prompted to select a course of action. AnyDesk is cross functional and available for Windows, ManOS, Linux, and other popular platforms.

2. Configure AnyDesk on the Remote Device

Next, you’ll want to set a computer name and password for the remote computer. All you need to do is set a password in the “Security” tab of the AnyDesk account. Additionally, you can add this remote computer to your address book (not available for all licenses).

3. Connect to the Remote Device

If a password is set on the remote computer, you can choose to log in automatically. Just connect and wait for the password dialog to appear.

Check “Log in automatically from now on” and enter the correct password. You will not be asked for the password anymore for future connections to the same machine. This feature does not save the password itself. Instead, if the password was entered correctly, the remote machine generates a specific token. This token is like a special key that can only be used by a single AnyDesk client. This means that there is no way to retrieve the password in clear text, even if someone has full access to your computer.

How to Keep Your AnyDesk Account Secure

AnyDesk has a variety of security features that ensure that your remote access connections are always encrypted and safe. However, there may be a time when you need to revoke permissions from once trusted devices or secure your account further by changing your password. Let’s walk through how you can revoke permissions to connect to your device on the AnyDesk software from your PC and set up a secure password that makes it difficult for even your most trusted friends and colleagues to guess.

How to Revoke the Permission to Connect to Your PC

To revoke permissions for connecting to your PC, there are two options:

You can disable this feature entirely by checking the option in the “Security” tab. Please Note: The already existing tokens will not be cleared by doing this, but no new tokens can be generated.

Even changing the password to the same password again invalidates all tokens. This is useful if you entered your password on another computer, but the user there does not know the actual password.

Improving Your AnyDesk Password

To ensure your password is airtight, make sure your selection is secure with these tips. Anyone who knows the password and your AnyDesk ID has full access to your computer. Here are a few ideas to consider when creating a password:

The versatility of AnyDesk makes your daily routine easy. Whether you are at home or at the office, our flexible product plans will get you the features you want for a price you’ll love. Get started with AnyDesk today.

Как пользоваться AnyDesk для удаленной работы?

AnyDesk – бесплатное средство для управления удалёнными ПК, ближайший конкурент TeamViewer и Ammy Admin. Создано по принципу: скачал, запустил, подключился и работай. У приложения миниатюрный однооконный интерфейс без запутанных меню. Соединение устанавливается в пару кликов. Доведённый до совершенства код работает практически без ошибок.

В статье покажем, как пользоваться AnyDesk: настроить, установить соединение между ПК и устройством на Андроид. Разберёмся с основными функциями программы, вопросами, возникающими в процессе эксплуатации приложения.

AnyDesk: на что способна программа?

Мощный инструмент для частного и корпоративного пользования, для удалённого подключения к ПК с помощью компьютера или мобильного телефона. Применяется для администрирования клиентов (заказчиков), помощи знакомым, получения доступа к служебному или домашнему устройству с любой платформы.

Перекрёстная кроссплатформенная совместимость позволяет работать с машинами на мобильных, десктопных операционных системах. Беспрецедентная безопасность и шустрый собственный кодек DeskRT гарантируют конфиденциальность, минимальную нагрузку на интернет-канал и графический ускоритель.

Удалённое подключение к ПК

ЭниДеск применяется для решения частных и коммерческих вопросов, независимо от используемой заказчиком и разработчиком (поставщиком услуг) платформы. Работает на Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, Mac. Поддерживает мобильные операционные системы: iOS, Raspberry, Android, Chrome OS. Частные лица прибегают к помощи AnyDesk для взаимодействия с домашним ПК через интернет, получения доступа до служебных компьютеров из дома – актуально при удалённой работы во время пандемии.

Важно! С приложением сможете подключиться и управлять домашним ПК с любой точки мира после настройки неконтролируемого доступа. Ещё один вариант эксплуатации AnyDesk – управление компьютером со смартфона при просмотре кино, лёжа на диване.

Как подключиться к другому ПК

Для установки связи с удалённой машиной действуйте по инструкции ниже (рассмотрим на примере двух компьютеров на Windows, для остальных операционных систем процесс аналогичный, немного отличается размещение элементов интерфейса):

Это девять цифр, копируются в буфер обмена через правый клик.

Ведомый компьютер может ограничить права ведущего, разрешить или запретить:

После принятия запроса увидите рабочий стол удалённой машины.

Что нужно, чтобы подключились к моему ПК

Для соединения с вашим компьютером нужно запустить Any Desk на двух ПК и следуйте инструкциям по шагам:

Окно отображается на протяжении сеанса, в нём клиент может изменять разрешения когда угодно.

Интерфейс программы и настройки

AnyDesk имеет однооконный вкладочный интерфейс.

После установки соединения появляются другие вкладки:

Основные функции AnyDesk

Некоторые возможности программы AnyDesk заслуживают отдельного внимания.

Смена ролей

При работе в AnyDesk подключаемый компьютер называется доминантным (оператор), тот, к которому подключаются – клиентским, подчинённым. Приложение позволяет в два клика обменять их ролями (правами) без разрыва соединения. Откройте меню действий и выберите «Переключить стороны».

Для переключения между экранами удалённого ПК, к которому подключено два и более монитора, используйте кнопку с номером дисплея.

Чат между устройствами

Для общения между оператором и клиентом в AnyDesk организован встроенный чат. Для вызова окна мессенджера жмите по иконке диалога в панели инструментов. В текстовую строку можно вводить только текстовые сообщения, адреса ссылок. Для передачи документов применяется файловый менеджер.

Обмен файлами

Встроенный файловый менеджер упростит передачу документов и каталогов между устройствами по сети по инициативе доминантного компьютера.

Внимание! Функция drag&drop (перетаскивания) пока не реализована.

Аналогично каталоги с файлами в AnyDesk копируют на доминантный компьютер.

Если функция недоступна, попросите клиента дать доступ до файловой системы: ему нужно развернуть окно AnyDesk, кликнуть по кнопке записной книжки – серый цвет заменится на синий.

Для получения прав администратора на удалённом компьютере откройте меню действий и запросите повышенные привилегии.

Исправление ошибок в ЭниДеск

Проблемы, касающиеся программы, решаются через службу поддержки.

How to Screen Share With AnyDesk Remote Desktop

Desktop Sharing With AnyDesk Is Easy and Convenient

Screen Sharing allows us to virtually look over each other’s shoulder and view another person’s screen from anywhere in the world in real-time, without having to send each other screenshots or a screen recording. But what do you need screen sharing for? Think about the many times at the office when you walked over to a co-worker’s cubicle and discussed something on their screen. What were the reasons in these situations?

What Is Screen Sharing?

Maybe they showed you how to use the new tool implemented by IT. Have you and your colleagues ever projected your screens onto the wall in a meeting in order to show a presentation? In some instances, your colleagues maybe wanted you to see what they are working on without having to send you a file first as they wanted to guide you through their work in real-time.

With more and more people working from home, these little moments get lost. Thankfully, all of these cases can be recreated virtually by using a screen sharing tool, such as a Remote Desktop Solution. In this step-by-step guide, we will show you how to easily screen share with AnyDesk in a few simple steps.

How to Screen Share With AnyDesk

If you want to use AnyDesk to share your screen on Windows with another person, here’s what you need to do:

1. Download AnyDesk and Get Started

First, download AnyDesk. You can either download it for free for private use or, if you use AnyDesk professionally, purchase one of our affordable and scalable licenses. Either way, as soon as you open AnyDesk for the first time, you’ll see the Home Screen where you’ll find your AnyDesk ID and Alias that can be used to connect to your device. Additionally, you will see an Invite Button next to your ID.

AnyDesk Home Screen

2. Share Your AnyDesk ID or Send a Session Invitation

To allow an incoming connection to your device via AnyDesk, you have the following options:

Option 1: Share your AnyDesk ID directly with the person you want to share your screen with so they can connect to your device. Please only share your ID with people you know and trust. If you right-click on your ID and select Invite via email, an email containing your ID / Alias will be generated. All you have to do is send this email out to the person you want to share you screen with.

After the session, the other user can see your ID in an address tile in the section Recent Sessions on their AnyDesk Home Screen. Next time you want to share your screen, they simply have to double-click on the tile in order to send a new connection request to your device.

Option 2: If you already know the AnyDesk ID of the person you want to share your screen with, you can enter the ID directly into the popup window that will appear after you press the Invite Button. After sending the request, the other person will receive a session invitation they can accept in order to start a connection to your device.

As the sender of this invitation, you have the opportunity to define permissions for the upcoming session in advance by selecting the desired set of permissions on the popup window. The rights you select will then be granted to the person accepting the invite once they connect to your device.

Session Invitation Popup

3. Send a Session Request

Once the other person has accepted your session invitation, access to your device is being established without you having to accept their incoming connection again. You have already defined the range of permissions you want to grant them in the previous step. Due to security reasons, the session invitation is only valid for two minutes before it expires. So when you send out an invitation, expect the other side to connect to your device within the next two minutes. You can view the history of your sent and received session invitations in the section Invitations on the AnyDesk Home Screen. There, you have the option to cancel outstanding requests at anytime.

When your device is being accessed without an invitation (as described in option 1), you will receive a direct session request. Before accepting the incoming request, you have the chance to change the permissions you want to grant. The connection will only be established once you press the accept button.

Accept Window of incoming Session Request

Additional Tips for Session Security

If your Remote Desktop session is merely for screen sharing, we advise unticking most, if not all Permissions, so that the other side cannot interact with your desktop. This means denying the use of mouse and keyboard, preventing them from using the clipboard and file manager, and disabling the On-Screen Whiteboard. Permissions can also be defined through so-called Session Permission Profiles. You can either use pre-set profiles, such as the Screen Sharing profile which only allows a passive view of your screen, or create your own individual profiles.

Of course, the chat function will still be enabled and it’s a good way to communicate with the other person if questions arise or if you’d like to clarify something. However, our tip is to still allow the session to be recorded. This is helpful if, for example, you host a tutorial via screen sharing. It allows the other person to re-watch the session at any time.

Adjust AnyDesk Permission Profiles in the settings menu

These permissions can be set in the security settings before the session and can always be changed during a running session. Maybe the other person would like to visualize something on your screen? You can then allow them to use the On-Screen Whiteboard.

What Else Can You Do With AnyDesk?

After your presentation ends, you can disconnect the user who connected to your device by canceling the session through the accept window. As you see, AnyDesk is a simple way to share your screen without having to worry about the connection being unstable, lagging or insecure.

But that’s not all AnyDesk is capable of! From simple screen sharing to complex IT administration tasks, AnyDesk has features for every need as well as high security standards. Download AnyDesk on your device and get started today!
